Installing and Using Sass

Hi, I try to start with Sass, but when I open my terminal and then type in "sass --version" I only get the response: "-bash: sass: command not found", what do I have to do?

You have to install sass first, sass --version checks if you have it installed or not and returns the version number. You can install sass using gem install sass, if it tells you that you don't have permission to do it use the sudo command to make it run.
